NUS Industry Liaison Office (ILO) is the technology translation and commercialization arm of NUS. Over the last five years, ILO has played a pivotal role in getting more than 580 patents granted and more than 60 technology-based companies being spunoff from NUS. In addition to managing and commercializing NUS’ intellectual assets, ILO leverages its deep industry knowledge and network to build strong bonds in numerous technical domains.

Technologies are searchable by category, key word, or phrase and include a detailed description of the technology, inventor and patent information, and contact information to learn more about each technology.

Market
Opportunity
Consumers in the cosmetic, perfume and food industries often prefer the
fine chemicals (e.g. flavours and fragrances) used in the product to be
obtained from natural sources. However, the extraction of these specialty
chemicals from botanical sources is unable to meet consumer demands, leading to
a high price for these chemicals. For example, 2-Phenylethanol (2-PE)... Read More
